Overview
HRP-2 is the final robotic platform for the Humanoid Robotics Project. The total robotic system was designed and integrated by Kawada Industries, Inc. together with the Humanoid Research Group of National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). It features a highly articulated body with 30 degrees of freedom, enabling complex movements and interactive operations.
Flagship features
- Many DOF system despite lightweight construction: 154 cm height, 58 kg mass, and 30 DOF
- Cantilevered crotch joint structure allows for walking in confined areas
- Highly compact electrical system packaging to forgo a "backpack"
- Cooling systems in leg actuators enhance continuous stepping endurance
- Enhanced links and axial stiffness improve walking motion and operational performance
- Open architecture allows users to develop application software
